Chapter 161
Nine out of ten had hemorrhoids.
Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju had hemorrhoids many years ago, but it wasn’t severe in the past. After they came to the capital, they often suffered from constipation due to the change of environment. It made the hemorrhoids worse.
Both of them didn't take it seriously. On top of that, they especially like to eat spicy stuff, especially since this year. It was to the point that they wished to sprinkle chili powder in their water too. The result was their hemorrhoids getting worse and worse.
Today, the ‘blood dam’ broke!
As Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju were being sent to the hospital, they were screaminG. All the way, it frightened many people.
Those who didn't know would assume Wan Chun Ju was going to have a baby. But a grown man like Qiao Zhen Guo calling out like that had everyone... a little puzzled.
The nurse told the two of them not to yell and this was a public place.
Wan Chun Ju's facial features contorted. The words ‘I'm in pain’ were written on her face: "Nurse, my butt hurts so much. It keeps twitching. Can you prescribe some medicine to make my butt stop hurting?"
Three black lines appeared on the nurse's forehead: "You have to be examined by a doctor before we can confirm whether you are taking medicine or performing an operation. Just wait!"
The nurse was prepared to leave after she finished speaking. But how could Wan Chun Ju let her go so easily?
She tugged on the nurse's clothes and howled, "Miss Nurse, don't go away. My butt really hurts!"
"I, understand. Patient, let go first!"
When she howled like this, everyone's gaze swept over. The nurse was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole to bury her!
"You don't understand!" Wan Chun Ju responded, "It's like pushing out glass shards when I go for a dump. Blood is all over the toilet paper. Miss Nurse, will I die? I can't die, I haven't held my grandson yet!"
Qiao Zhen Guo quickly nodded when he heard his wife's words: "Miss Nurse, you may not know, my butt hurts too. I also pooped out a lot of blood!"
Nurse: "..." She didn't want to know at all.
Dai Shu Fang was sent to the hospital. However, the cervix wasn’t dilated enough to enter the delivery room. The doctor told them to walk around the hospital to exercise and help the delivery.
When she walked into the hall and saw Qiao Zhen Guo and his wife pulling the nurse's clothes and saying their butt hurt, she quickly took her husband's hand and urged, "Go, turn back!"
Better not pass by now. Simply too embarrassing!
Zhong Kang De also recognized the two from Qiao Family and quickly helped his wife turn around and leave.
Better not let others know that they know each other!
——
Huo Chi had already graduated. When he knew his mom was about to give birth, he immediately drove from the company to school to pick up Da Qiao and then they went to the hospital together.
Da Qiao frowned slightly as her long eyelashes blinked: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, are you nervous?"
Although in the past few months, she had been feeding Auntie Fang with jade bead water, there was Auntie Fang's age. Inevitably, she was worried.
Huo Chi turned his head and glanced over. His eyes fell on her lips that had a slight bite mark. He uttered in a low voice, "It's okay. I'm here!"
Of course, he was worried. But he was the pillar of the family now. So even when he was worried, he couldn't show it in front of them.
Hearing his words, Da Qiao's tense heart suddenly calmed down for some unknown reason.
They reached the hospital.
Huo Chi leaned over to help her unbuckle the seat belt. Then, he reached out to stroke her lips and said in a low voice, "Don't bite so hard in the future."
Da Qiao froze for a moment before nodding slightly with warm cheeks: "Okay."
The corner of Huo Chi's mouth curled slightly: "Let's go. We better go in quick."
Just as Da Qiao got out of the car, she remembered the way he looked at her just now. Her heart beat so fast.
As soon as the two walked into the hall, they heard someone wailing: "Doctor, nurse, my butt hurts so much!!"
The two halted at the same time. This voice...was a bit familiar.
Seeking the source of the sound, they found Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju leaning on the pillars in the hall. Their facial features were twisting and contorting. Howls kept coming out of their mouths.
Da Qiao: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, let's go that way. That way faster." Going that way, they won’t be seen.
Huo Chi nodded in agreement: "Okay, I also think it's faster to go there."
So the two lowered their heads, as if they were thieves, and quickly slipped away.
When Wan Chun Ju turned around, she happened to catch a glimpse of the two’s figures disappearing from the corner. She felt it was a little familiar, but before she had time to think about it, her butt throbbed again. At once, she didn't have the mind for it.
——
When they came to the delivery room area, they found Zhong Kang De supporting Dai as they walked from a distance. Zhong Kang De's eyes were full of tenderness and concern.
"Auntie Fang/Mom!" Da Qiao and Huo Chi walked over and called at the same time.
Dai Shu Fang looked up and saw them. A smile beamed on her face: "Da Qiao, Chi-er, you’re here?"
Da Qiao walked over and smoothly held her other hand. She asked softly, "Auntie Fang, how are you? Does your stomach hurt?"
Dai Shu Fang pulled the corners of her lips and merrily responded: "It doesn't hurt very much. The doctor said it will take a while to give birth."
Actually, how can delivery be painless? At her age, her energy level couldn’t compare to when she was younger. From the labor pains to now, she was already a little exhausted.
It was just that she didn't want to scare Da Qiao; lest she would have a psychological shadow of becoming pregnant in the future.
Da Qiao took out a handkerchief to wipe Auntie Fang's sweat. Then she asked Elder Brother Huo Chi to bring out the goji berry brown sugar water she brought over for Auntie Fang.
Dai Shu Fang saw the water she brought and she kinda understood in her heart. She drank it without any hesitation.
Sure enough, not long after drinking it, she felt a lot of her fatigue disappear. Strength coursed through her whole body. Ten minutes later, she was sent to the delivery room.
A woman's screams kept coming from the delivery room. Da Qiao's face turned pale.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Huo Chi reached out to hold her little hand and assured, "Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen."
Da Qiao's long eyelashes trembled: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, if I don't want to have children in the future, can I not?"
In the past few months, she had seen how hard Auntie Fang's pregnancy was. Now having the endless screams in her ears, she felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Huo Chi answered without hesitation: "Okay. If you don't want to have a baby after we get married, we won't have a baby. I'll go for the ligation!"
Of course he wants a child belonging to the two of them, but he didn’t marry her to carry on the family line. But because he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. So if she didn't want to have a child, then they wouldn't have one. And he would try to convince his grandfather.
Da Qiao pursed her lips, leaned over and said, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are so nice!"
Huo Chi raised his lips and smiled at her. His eyes were full of tenderness.
An hour later, Dai Shu Fang gave birth to a five-jin boy.
When she saw the handle on her youngest son, she was so disappointed. She even asked the nurse if she made a mistake. She thought that what she was carrying should be a daughter.
This remark made the obstetrics and gynecology doctors and nurses a little dumbfounded. At the same time they had a good impression of her.
In the past, people were very patriarchal. And that was when there was no limit on birth. Since family planning had been implemented, the hospital in the capital often witnessed families disdaining baby girls. It made them angry and powerless!
Zhong Kang De didn't care. Son or daughter were fine.
At this time, he was holding a small bundle. His wrinkled skin son. His eyes reddened.
This child he had been looking forward to for decades had come to him. It was the product of love between him and Dai Shu Fang.
After the baby was bathed, Da Qiao and Huo Chi got to see little Wu-er.
Although liitle Wu-er's skin was wrinkled, he had a straight nose, which was very similar to Huo Chi's.
During the process of Dai Shu Fang's childbirth, Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju experienced their chrysanthemum being intruded for the first time in their lives. A great shadow was etched on both hearts.
Especially Qiao Zhen Guo. The one who examined him was a man. When the man's fingers went into his butthole, he trembled all over.
He wasn’t clean anymore.
Both hemorrhoids were very serious. It belonged to grade 4 hemorrhoids. The hemorrhoids prolapsed outside the anus. They can no longer be reverted. They must be surgically removed.
It was just that the operation couldn't be done on the same day. The two of them were arranged to be hospitalized and waited for the operation arrangement.
They happened to be in the ward next to Dai Shu Fang’s. Da Qiao and the group could hear wailing from the next door from time to time. The sound was extremely miserable. It made people sympathetic and speechless.
——
In a blink of an eye, the day of little Wu'er's full moon arrived.
The full moon was held at Huo's house. The guests were all familiar relatives and friends.
"Oh, little Wu looks so handsome!" Mao Family’s eldest sister from next door merrily praised.
Lin Hui nodded: "He's just like Huo Chi. Both are as good-looking as Elder Sister Fang."
After Dai Shu Fang gave birth, she was obviously a little plumper. Her complexion was pretty good: "Don't praise him. Lest that this little guy become too proud!"
Zhong Kang De only became a father in his 40s. He wholeheartedly doted on his son; cradled him in his arms every day and said he was good-looking. She was afraid that Youngest Son would become very narcissistic once he grew up.
But little Wu-er did look like her. Huo Chi mostly looked like her. So the two brothers looked alike. Those who didn't know may think they have the same father and mother.
By the way, little Wu-er's name was Zhong Wan Hao. The word #‘wan’ implied he was a son from old age.
Everyone was chatting and laughing around the baby in the living room. However, Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju were doing exercises in the yard.
En, Kegel exercise.
The hemorrhoid surgery from a month ago left the couple with lingering fears. They swore they would never eat spicy food again and followed the doctor's advice to do Kegel exercises every day.
It was fine to do it at home. But the two couples did this kind of exercise when they were guests at other people’s homes. It truly rendered people speechless.
Seeing Eldest Son and his wife, Qiao Xiu Zhi almost rolled her eyes to the sky: "You two stop. Watch your actions when you’re at someone else's house!"
The two of them listened to her words and did comply. Wan Chun Ju felt that she could fight a little bit: "Mom, we are doing exercise. The doctor told us to do it!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi was amusedly angry: "The doctor told you to do exercises at home. Not for you to go to other people's yards to lie down and do leg-crossing exercises! You two stop at once or go home now !"
Although Wan Chun Ju wasn’t willing, she stopped.
When it was time for lunch, everyone's attention was on the newborn little Wu-er at the beginning. Gradually it shifted to the group of unmarried men and women.
Aunties all over the country have a common hobby- like to matchmake.
And Qiao Dong Ying, who had no match and her age was high, had become the target of everyone's ‘siege’.
"Auntie Xiu Zhi, how old is your second granddaughter? Does she have a match?" Dai Shu Fang's second sister-in-law asked.
Qiao Xiu Zhi replied: "She is twenty-three. No match yet."
Dai Family’s second sister-in-law eyed Qiao Dong Ying up and down and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "No match at the age of twenty-three? Aren’t you guys anxious? This isn’t a young age. When I was twenty-three years old, my second child could already walk!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi indifferently uttered: "How can we compare the past with the present? How many of us went to college at that time? Dong Ying just graduated this year. Now the girls are all around this age when they graduate from school. So they aren’t too old."
Dai Family’s second sister-in-law disagreed: "Study is studying. But studying can't delay finding a man. Otherwise, where can a good man be found at a high age, right?"
As soon as she said this, no one echoed in agreement.
Wan Chun Ju wanted to agree. But before she opened her mouth, she felt her mother-in-law's knife-like gaze. She had no choice but to shut up.
Qiao Dong Ying's expression displayed embarrassment. The hands under the table were clenched into fists.
Da Qiao happened to be sitting next to her. She reached out and patted the back of her hand lightly.
Knowing that she was comforting herself, Qiao Dong Ying turned her head and smiled at her.
"Second Sister-in-law, didn't you say that you like to eat crabs? Then eat a few more today. I will ask Auntie to pack a bag for you later."
Dai Shu Fang never liked this second sister-in-law. But today was little Wu-er's full moon banquet. She didn't want to make it too strained.
Dai Family’s second sister-in-law always wanted to please this younger sister. But she kept ignoring her. When she heard this, her fat face immediately bloomed into a chrysanthemum: "Yes, I just like to eat crabs. However, these abalone and sea prawns are also very good.”
Dai Shu Fang pursed her lips and ignored her.
Contempt flashed across the eyes of the others at the table. Dai Family's second sister-in-law seemed to realize this. She curled her lips and then stopped talking.
After everyone had finished eating and dispersed, Dai Shu Fang apologized to Qiao Xiu Zhi and Qiao Dong Ying in private.
Qiao Dong Ying knew that Auntie Fang couldn’t be blamed for this. She generously expressed it was fine.
It was just that Qiao Dong Ying's age was indeed not young. The first person she matched with was a spy. In addition, she changed a few jobs after graduation. Until now she hadn't settled down yet.
Her future had become a worry for Qiao Family.
——
Qiao Xiu Zhi asked Qiao Dong Ying in private what she wanted to do?
Qiao Dong Ying said that she didn't know. That was why she wanted to try in various industries. Maybe one day she would be able to find what she wanted to do.
As for marriage, she didn't consider it yet.
Although Qiao Xiu Zhi was a little worried, she still supported her granddaughter's idea.
Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn’t anxious, but Wan Chun Ju was.
In Wan Chun Ju's view, a spinster at home was very embarrassing. As long as Qiao Dong Ying was at home, she will definitely talk about it.
Saying she was useless; still doing part-time jobs after she attended college. Might as well not have gone to college in the first place and marry someone. Next moment, she said she had a bad personality. Even when Qiao Dong He was studying, a man fell in love with her. Let’s not mention Da Qiao!
She felt that Qiao Dong Ying didn't find a partner because there was a problem with her!
These words seriously hurt Qiao Dong Ying. The relationship between the mother and daughter was very tense. In the end, Qiao Dong Ying couldn't take it anymore. She packed her things and went to live with second branch.
Seeing her daughter disobeying her, Wan Chun Ju almost went crazy from exasperation.
It was impossible for her to leave her daughter's marriage alone. She unrestrainedly told people about Qiao Dong Ying at the restaurant and asked them to introduce her to someone.
So half a month later, Qiao Dong Ying's first blind date appeared.
The other party was two years older than Qiao Dong Ying. He was also a college student and also from outside the capital. He was doing financial work in a company in the capital. Good salary and good personal conditions.
Because of this, Qiao Dong Ying agreed to meet him.
After going to the meeting, everything except the other person's height was in line with what the introducer said. He appeared pretty decent. Only the dark circles under the eyes were a bit scary.
Qiao Dong Ying noticed the dark circles under his eyes as soon as they met: "Are you busy in finance? Do you need to work overtime often?"
The man didn't cop on for a while and shook his head, "Although our work can sometimes get busy, our company has good benefits. We only have overtime work once or twice a month."
Qiao Dong Ying joked: "Your dark circles are so serious, I thought you often have to work overtime!"
Only then did the man realize that she was talking about his dark circles and quickly explained: "I am born with dark circles. All my family members have such big dark circles!"
Qiao Dong Ying pursed her lips to express her understanding.
Because the other party had a humorous speech and his personality wasn’t particularly revolting, Qiao Dong Ying still didn't immediately reject him even though she didn't have any feelings for him.
She was tired of her mom forcing her into marriage every day. She wanted to use this man as a shield.
Shen Tian You had already been admitted to a college in the capital, majoring in aerospace.
When he knew that Elder Sister Ying already had a blind date, he was so anxious that he came to her on the weekend.
The two of them didn't meet in second branch’s place. Instead, they arranged to meet at a small restaurant outside.
Shen Tian You was impatient. As soon as he sat down, he went straight to the point: "Elder Sister Ying, have you confirmed your relationship with that person?"
Qiao Dong Ying poured him a glass of soda, shook her head, and replied, "It shouldn't be considered confirmed. But we will meet once a week."
Except for the dark circles under the eyes, she really couldn't find any other problems with the other party. If this situation continues, they would probably confirm their relationship.
Shen Tian You closely squinted at her: "Elder Sister Ying, how is that person? He shouldn't be that good, right?"
Qiao Dong Ying raised her eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
Shen Tian You: "If he is really good, Elder Sister Ying, you might agree. But Elder Sister Ying, your tone just now was very uncertain. Does he have any shortcomings?"
Qiao Dong Ying shook her head: "There are no shortcomings."
Shen Tian You didn't believe this. Sourness brewed in his heart: "Everyone has shortcomings. How could he have no shortcomings?"
Seeing how serious he was, Qiao Dong Ying couldn't help but hooked her lips into a smile: "If you want to talk about shortcomings, there are also some. His dark circles are very severe. You can see them from five or six meters away!"
Shen Tian You was shocked when he heard this: "Elder Sister Ying, I heard that people with severe dark circles basically have kidney-deficiency!"
Qiao Dong Ying laughed out loud when she heard this.
However, a man sitting at the table next to them was very upset. He also had dark circles under his eyes, but his dark circles were natural. His whole family was like this. Could it be that his whole family have kidney deficiency?
Nonsense!
Shen Tian You could tell that she didn't take it seriously: "Elder Sister Ying, what I said is true. Since that person's eye circles are so dark, maybe he doesn't sleep at night and does bad things!"
Qiao Dong Ying smiled and changed the subject.
In her opinion, Shen Tian You was still a child. She didn't want to talk about her relationship with him.
Seeing that she didn't believe what he said, Shen Tian You was as anxious as an ant in a hot pan. But there was nothing he could do.
Qiao Dong Ying didn't believe it when Shen Tian You said the other party did something bad at night. Who knew that he actually hit the bullseye!
A month later, the blind date man and the company where the blind date man worked were arrested by the Police for illegal tomb robbery!
Qiao Dong Ying was stunned when she heard the news that the other party had been arrested.
It turned out that the other party's dark circles were really caused by doing bad things at night!
Nine out of ten had hemorrhoids.
Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju had hemorrhoids many years ago, but it wasn’t severe in the past. After they came to the capital, they often suffered from constipation due to the change of environment. It made the hemorrhoids worse.
Both of them didn't take it seriously. On top of that, they especially like to eat spicy stuff, especially since this year. It was to the point that they wished to sprinkle chili powder in their water too. The result was their hemorrhoids getting worse and worse.
Today, the ‘blood dam’ broke!
As Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju were being sent to the hospital, they were screaminG. All the way, it frightened many people.
Those who didn't know would assume Wan Chun Ju was going to have a baby. But a grown man like Qiao Zhen Guo calling out like that had everyone... a little puzzled.
The nurse told the two of them not to yell and this was a public place.
Wan Chun Ju's facial features contorted. The words ‘I'm in pain’ were written on her face: "Nurse, my butt hurts so much. It keeps twitching. Can you prescribe some medicine to make my butt stop hurting?"
Three black lines appeared on the nurse's forehead: "You have to be examined by a doctor before we can confirm whether you are taking medicine or performing an operation. Just wait!"
The nurse was prepared to leave after she finished speaking. But how could Wan Chun Ju let her go so easily?
She tugged on the nurse's clothes and howled, "Miss Nurse, don't go away. My butt really hurts!"
"I, understand. Patient, let go first!"
When she howled like this, everyone's gaze swept over. The nurse was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole to bury her!
"You don't understand!" Wan Chun Ju responded, "It's like pushing out glass shards when I go for a dump. Blood is all over the toilet paper. Miss Nurse, will I die? I can't die, I haven't held my grandson yet!"
Qiao Zhen Guo quickly nodded when he heard his wife's words: "Miss Nurse, you may not know, my butt hurts too. I also pooped out a lot of blood!"
Nurse: "..." She didn't want to know at all.
Dai Shu Fang was sent to the hospital. However, the cervix wasn’t dilated enough to enter the delivery room. The doctor told them to walk around the hospital to exercise and help the delivery.
When she walked into the hall and saw Qiao Zhen Guo and his wife pulling the nurse's clothes and saying their butt hurt, she quickly took her husband's hand and urged, "Go, turn back!"
Better not pass by now. Simply too embarrassing!
Zhong Kang De also recognized the two from Qiao Family and quickly helped his wife turn around and leave.
Better not let others know that they know each other!
——
Huo Chi had already graduated. When he knew his mom was about to give birth, he immediately drove from the company to school to pick up Da Qiao and then they went to the hospital together.
Da Qiao frowned slightly as her long eyelashes blinked: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, are you nervous?"
Although in the past few months, she had been feeding Auntie Fang with jade bead water, there was Auntie Fang's age. Inevitably, she was worried.
Huo Chi turned his head and glanced over. His eyes fell on her lips that had a slight bite mark. He uttered in a low voice, "It's okay. I'm here!"
Of course, he was worried. But he was the pillar of the family now. So even when he was worried, he couldn't show it in front of them.
Hearing his words, Da Qiao's tense heart suddenly calmed down for some unknown reason.
They reached the hospital.
Huo Chi leaned over to help her unbuckle the seat belt. Then, he reached out to stroke her lips and said in a low voice, "Don't bite so hard in the future."
Da Qiao froze for a moment before nodding slightly with warm cheeks: "Okay."
The corner of Huo Chi's mouth curled slightly: "Let's go. We better go in quick."
Just as Da Qiao got out of the car, she remembered the way he looked at her just now. Her heart beat so fast.
As soon as the two walked into the hall, they heard someone wailing: "Doctor, nurse, my butt hurts so much!!"
The two halted at the same time. This voice...was a bit familiar.
Seeking the source of the sound, they found Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju leaning on the pillars in the hall. Their facial features were twisting and contorting. Howls kept coming out of their mouths.
Da Qiao: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, let's go that way. That way faster." Going that way, they won’t be seen.
Huo Chi nodded in agreement: "Okay, I also think it's faster to go there."
So the two lowered their heads, as if they were thieves, and quickly slipped away.
When Wan Chun Ju turned around, she happened to catch a glimpse of the two’s figures disappearing from the corner. She felt it was a little familiar, but before she had time to think about it, her butt throbbed again. At once, she didn't have the mind for it.
——
When they came to the delivery room area, they found Zhong Kang De supporting Dai as they walked from a distance. Zhong Kang De's eyes were full of tenderness and concern.
"Auntie Fang/Mom!" Da Qiao and Huo Chi walked over and called at the same time.
Dai Shu Fang looked up and saw them. A smile beamed on her face: "Da Qiao, Chi-er, you’re here?"
Da Qiao walked over and smoothly held her other hand. She asked softly, "Auntie Fang, how are you? Does your stomach hurt?"
Dai Shu Fang pulled the corners of her lips and merrily responded: "It doesn't hurt very much. The doctor said it will take a while to give birth."
Actually, how can delivery be painless? At her age, her energy level couldn’t compare to when she was younger. From the labor pains to now, she was already a little exhausted.
It was just that she didn't want to scare Da Qiao; lest she would have a psychological shadow of becoming pregnant in the future.
Da Qiao took out a handkerchief to wipe Auntie Fang's sweat. Then she asked Elder Brother Huo Chi to bring out the goji berry brown sugar water she brought over for Auntie Fang.

Sure enough, not long after drinking it, she felt a lot of her fatigue disappear. Strength coursed through her whole body. Ten minutes later, she was sent to the delivery room.
A woman's screams kept coming from the delivery room. Da Qiao's face turned pale.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Huo Chi reached out to hold her little hand and assured, "Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen."
Da Qiao's long eyelashes trembled: "Elder Brother Huo Chi, if I don't want to have children in the future, can I not?"
In the past few months, she had seen how hard Auntie Fang's pregnancy was. Now having the endless screams in her ears, she felt a sense of fear in her heart.
Huo Chi answered without hesitation: "Okay. If you don't want to have a baby after we get married, we won't have a baby. I'll go for the ligation!"
Of course he wants a child belonging to the two of them, but he didn’t marry her to carry on the family line. But because he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. So if she didn't want to have a child, then they wouldn't have one. And he would try to convince his grandfather.
Da Qiao pursed her lips, leaned over and said, "Elder Brother Huo Chi, you are so nice!"
Huo Chi raised his lips and smiled at her. His eyes were full of tenderness.
An hour later, Dai Shu Fang gave birth to a five-jin boy.
When she saw the handle on her youngest son, she was so disappointed. She even asked the nurse if she made a mistake. She thought that what she was carrying should be a daughter.
This remark made the obstetrics and gynecology doctors and nurses a little dumbfounded. At the same time they had a good impression of her.

This child he had been looking forward to for decades had come to him. It was the product of love between him and Dai Shu Fang.
After the baby was bathed, Da Qiao and Huo Chi got to see little Wu-er.

——
In a blink of an eye, the day of little Wu'er's full moon arrived.
The full moon was held at Huo's house. The guests were all familiar relatives and friends.
"Oh, little Wu looks so handsome!" Mao Family’s eldest sister from next door merrily praised.
Lin Hui nodded: "He's just like Huo Chi. Both are as good-looking as Elder Sister Fang."
After Dai Shu Fang gave birth, she was obviously a little plumper. Her complexion was pretty good: "Don't praise him. Lest that this little guy become too proud!"
Zhong Kang De only became a father in his 40s. He wholeheartedly doted on his son; cradled him in his arms every day and said he was good-looking. She was afraid that Youngest Son would become very narcissistic once he grew up.
But little Wu-er did look like her. Huo Chi mostly looked like her. So the two brothers looked alike. Those who didn't know may think they have the same father and mother.
By the way, little Wu-er's name was Zhong Wan Hao. The word #‘wan’ implied he was a son from old age.
Everyone was chatting and laughing around the baby in the living room. However, Qiao Zhen Guo and Wan Chun Ju were doing exercises in the yard.
En, Kegel exercise.
The hemorrhoid surgery from a month ago left the couple with lingering fears. They swore they would never eat spicy food again and followed the doctor's advice to do Kegel exercises every day.
It was fine to do it at home. But the two couples did this kind of exercise when they were guests at other people’s homes. It truly rendered people speechless.
Seeing Eldest Son and his wife, Qiao Xiu Zhi almost rolled her eyes to the sky: "You two stop. Watch your actions when you’re at someone else's house!"
The two of them listened to her words and did comply. Wan Chun Ju felt that she could fight a little bit: "Mom, we are doing exercise. The doctor told us to do it!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi was amusedly angry: "The doctor told you to do exercises at home. Not for you to go to other people's yards to lie down and do leg-crossing exercises! You two stop at once or go home now !"
Although Wan Chun Ju wasn’t willing, she stopped.
When it was time for lunch, everyone's attention was on the newborn little Wu-er at the beginning. Gradually it shifted to the group of unmarried men and women.
Aunties all over the country have a common hobby- like to matchmake.
And Qiao Dong Ying, who had no match and her age was high, had become the target of everyone's ‘siege’.
"Auntie Xiu Zhi, how old is your second granddaughter? Does she have a match?" Dai Shu Fang's second sister-in-law asked.
Qiao Xiu Zhi replied: "She is twenty-three. No match yet."
Dai Family’s second sister-in-law eyed Qiao Dong Ying up and down and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "No match at the age of twenty-three? Aren’t you guys anxious? This isn’t a young age. When I was twenty-three years old, my second child could already walk!"
Qiao Xiu Zhi indifferently uttered: "How can we compare the past with the present? How many of us went to college at that time? Dong Ying just graduated this year. Now the girls are all around this age when they graduate from school. So they aren’t too old."
Dai Family’s second sister-in-law disagreed: "Study is studying. But studying can't delay finding a man. Otherwise, where can a good man be found at a high age, right?"
As soon as she said this, no one echoed in agreement.
Wan Chun Ju wanted to agree. But before she opened her mouth, she felt her mother-in-law's knife-like gaze. She had no choice but to shut up.
Qiao Dong Ying's expression displayed embarrassment. The hands under the table were clenched into fists.
Da Qiao happened to be sitting next to her. She reached out and patted the back of her hand lightly.
Knowing that she was comforting herself, Qiao Dong Ying turned her head and smiled at her.
"Second Sister-in-law, didn't you say that you like to eat crabs? Then eat a few more today. I will ask Auntie to pack a bag for you later."
Dai Shu Fang never liked this second sister-in-law. But today was little Wu-er's full moon banquet. She didn't want to make it too strained.
Dai Family’s second sister-in-law always wanted to please this younger sister. But she kept ignoring her. When she heard this, her fat face immediately bloomed into a chrysanthemum: "Yes, I just like to eat crabs. However, these abalone and sea prawns are also very good.”
Dai Shu Fang pursed her lips and ignored her.
Contempt flashed across the eyes of the others at the table. Dai Family's second sister-in-law seemed to realize this. She curled her lips and then stopped talking.
After everyone had finished eating and dispersed, Dai Shu Fang apologized to Qiao Xiu Zhi and Qiao Dong Ying in private.
Qiao Dong Ying knew that Auntie Fang couldn’t be blamed for this. She generously expressed it was fine.
It was just that Qiao Dong Ying's age was indeed not young. The first person she matched with was a spy. In addition, she changed a few jobs after graduation. Until now she hadn't settled down yet.
Her future had become a worry for Qiao Family.
——
Qiao Xiu Zhi asked Qiao Dong Ying in private what she wanted to do?
Qiao Dong Ying said that she didn't know. That was why she wanted to try in various industries. Maybe one day she would be able to find what she wanted to do.
As for marriage, she didn't consider it yet.
Although Qiao Xiu Zhi was a little worried, she still supported her granddaughter's idea.
Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn’t anxious, but Wan Chun Ju was.
In Wan Chun Ju's view, a spinster at home was very embarrassing. As long as Qiao Dong Ying was at home, she will definitely talk about it.
Saying she was useless; still doing part-time jobs after she attended college. Might as well not have gone to college in the first place and marry someone. Next moment, she said she had a bad personality. Even when Qiao Dong He was studying, a man fell in love with her. Let’s not mention Da Qiao!
She felt that Qiao Dong Ying didn't find a partner because there was a problem with her!
These words seriously hurt Qiao Dong Ying. The relationship between the mother and daughter was very tense. In the end, Qiao Dong Ying couldn't take it anymore. She packed her things and went to live with second branch.
Seeing her daughter disobeying her, Wan Chun Ju almost went crazy from exasperation.
It was impossible for her to leave her daughter's marriage alone. She unrestrainedly told people about Qiao Dong Ying at the restaurant and asked them to introduce her to someone.
So half a month later, Qiao Dong Ying's first blind date appeared.
The other party was two years older than Qiao Dong Ying. He was also a college student and also from outside the capital. He was doing financial work in a company in the capital. Good salary and good personal conditions.
Because of this, Qiao Dong Ying agreed to meet him.
After going to the meeting, everything except the other person's height was in line with what the introducer said. He appeared pretty decent. Only the dark circles under the eyes were a bit scary.
Qiao Dong Ying noticed the dark circles under his eyes as soon as they met: "Are you busy in finance? Do you need to work overtime often?"
The man didn't cop on for a while and shook his head, "Although our work can sometimes get busy, our company has good benefits. We only have overtime work once or twice a month."
Qiao Dong Ying joked: "Your dark circles are so serious, I thought you often have to work overtime!"
Only then did the man realize that she was talking about his dark circles and quickly explained: "I am born with dark circles. All my family members have such big dark circles!"
Qiao Dong Ying pursed her lips to express her understanding.
Because the other party had a humorous speech and his personality wasn’t particularly revolting, Qiao Dong Ying still didn't immediately reject him even though she didn't have any feelings for him.
She was tired of her mom forcing her into marriage every day. She wanted to use this man as a shield.
Shen Tian You had already been admitted to a college in the capital, majoring in aerospace.
When he knew that Elder Sister Ying already had a blind date, he was so anxious that he came to her on the weekend.
The two of them didn't meet in second branch’s place. Instead, they arranged to meet at a small restaurant outside.
Shen Tian You was impatient. As soon as he sat down, he went straight to the point: "Elder Sister Ying, have you confirmed your relationship with that person?"
Qiao Dong Ying poured him a glass of soda, shook her head, and replied, "It shouldn't be considered confirmed. But we will meet once a week."
Except for the dark circles under the eyes, she really couldn't find any other problems with the other party. If this situation continues, they would probably confirm their relationship.
Shen Tian You closely squinted at her: "Elder Sister Ying, how is that person? He shouldn't be that good, right?"
Qiao Dong Ying raised her eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
Shen Tian You: "If he is really good, Elder Sister Ying, you might agree. But Elder Sister Ying, your tone just now was very uncertain. Does he have any shortcomings?"
Qiao Dong Ying shook her head: "There are no shortcomings."
Shen Tian You didn't believe this. Sourness brewed in his heart: "Everyone has shortcomings. How could he have no shortcomings?"
Seeing how serious he was, Qiao Dong Ying couldn't help but hooked her lips into a smile: "If you want to talk about shortcomings, there are also some. His dark circles are very severe. You can see them from five or six meters away!"
Shen Tian You was shocked when he heard this: "Elder Sister Ying, I heard that people with severe dark circles basically have kidney-deficiency!"
Qiao Dong Ying laughed out loud when she heard this.
However, a man sitting at the table next to them was very upset. He also had dark circles under his eyes, but his dark circles were natural. His whole family was like this. Could it be that his whole family have kidney deficiency?
Nonsense!
Shen Tian You could tell that she didn't take it seriously: "Elder Sister Ying, what I said is true. Since that person's eye circles are so dark, maybe he doesn't sleep at night and does bad things!"
Qiao Dong Ying smiled and changed the subject.
In her opinion, Shen Tian You was still a child. She didn't want to talk about her relationship with him.
Seeing that she didn't believe what he said, Shen Tian You was as anxious as an ant in a hot pan. But there was nothing he could do.
Qiao Dong Ying didn't believe it when Shen Tian You said the other party did something bad at night. Who knew that he actually hit the bullseye!
A month later, the blind date man and the company where the blind date man worked were arrested by the Police for illegal tomb robbery!
Qiao Dong Ying was stunned when she heard the news that the other party had been arrested.
It turned out that the other party's dark circles were really caused by doing bad things at night!
